Book Nook: 250 Vital Things Your Cat Wants You to Know: The Cat Guardian’s Bible by Ingrid Newkirk

250 Vital Things Your Cat Wants You to Know by Ingrid Newkirk

Vick Mickunas interviews author and founder of PETA, Ingrid Newkirk.

Over four decades ago Ingrid Newkirk founded People for the Ethical
Treatment of Animals (PETA). Ingrid is a tireless advocate on behalf of
animals and in her own words she is a "cat auntie."

In her new book "250 Vital Things Your Cat Wants You to Know: The Cat
Guardian’s Bible" Ingrid shares her deep knowledge of cats; the best
ways to care for them, how to communicate with them, and how special
these amazing creatures truly are.

If you adore cats you'll surely get a lot out of this informative,
tender book.

The Book Nook on WYSO is presented by the Greene County Public Library with additional support from Washington-Centerville Public Library, Clark County Public Library, Dayton Metro Library, and Wright Memorial Public Library.

Vick Mickunas is the host of Book Nook on WYSO, which he created in 1994. He has conducted more than 1,700 author interviews, from Studs Terkel to Lee Child to John Glenn. He is a book critic for the Dayton Daily News and the Springfield News-Sun.
